Haan galo – haan galo is a duo-performance of Patrícia Corrêa and Liesje van den Berk about relation, game and control. The eye connection is an important part of our work. Two persons are connected in there own game… a voice without sound and a powerful profound bond. We also use subtle elements to communicate our game with the audience. For example the metronome, that marks the pulse of the game. The sound communicated with the audience this intimate game that we were playing.
Eye contact that never breaks, increasing emotions, control, breathing, control, fight, control, friendship, control, tears, control and more breathing… We talk with the eyes!

Patricia en Liesje met each other at PAS (Performance Art Studies) in Berlin in the summer of 2011.
Liesje van den Berk is a visual artist. She makes realistic drawings, which often grow into installations with real people and performance. She shows her work in galleries and public space in the Netherlands, Germany and the United States, such as Bart Kunst in Huis, Oerol and Grimmuseum Berlin.
Patrícia Corrêa is a performance artist, researcher, curator and cultural producer. In her work as a performer she is currently developing snapshot actions in Lisbon (Portugal), city were she works and lives. She showed her work in Lisbon, Berlin and most recently at the 6th edition of Sao Tome and Principe Biennal.

As an actress Martine van Ditzhuyzen has a preference for physical acting and object manipulation. She worked a lot in children theatre as a puppet player. Three years ago she founded the collective Trickster with Marielle Verdijk en began to give multimedia performances based on improvisation. Also she started her study in theatre science. In her first “solo” performance ‘The story I live by’ she will explore the concept of identity en storytelling. She links objects with her storytelling to underline the influence of the outside world on the way she looks back, interprets, gives sense and talks about some of her live events. Who will tell the story; will it be she or the objects? What story will be told and will it be the objects story or her story? She asked composer and performer Barbara Ellison, also a member of Trickster, to join her in the
performance.

PAEkort is a monthly event organized by PAE presenting two performance art works in one evening in the Wolfart Projectspaces Rotterdam. The aim is to have a more regular stage for performance art to encourage the performance art in the Netherlands and keep the audience connected by building up a relationship through regularity. Next that we want to present established performance artists our focus will be more on the beginners and the ones who have no experience but need a place for the experiment.

PAEkort is supported by the “Mya – NAC culture fund” and Stichting bevordering van Volkskracht.

About us

In announcements on 31 december 2011 with no comments

PAE is an international orientating organization whose goal is to show the diversity of performance art.

Therefore PAE would like to realize performance art in close collaboration with the artist by offering support for creating ideal conditions mainly focused on the specific needs of the artist. The current condition, with exceptions excluded, is that this art form usually is attached to other types of events and doesn’t always get the attention and appreciation it deserves. Performance art seems difficult to (re)present if one would approach it from the more established art institutions, which are more aimed at conserving and sale (art galleries museums, theater). Contrary to them PAE has been trying to find a more appropriate form by organizing events dedicated to performance art alone. PAE offers more space for improvisation on the actual situation in the most radical sense. The emerging intensity becomes an important aspect of the work. The perishable character, aimed at the moment, could be considered as a starting point of performance, possibly a rebellion against the over-defined and static position of art history.
